It's a good night for skygazing. The weather will be warm. The skies will be mostly clear. Walk outside shortly after sunset (4:42 p.m.) and you should be able to easily see the crescent moon appearing to hang above and to the left of Venus. It's an optical illusion; the objects aren't close. Venus will be about 136 million miles away at the time. The moon will be less than 250,000 miles from Earth.
